Fact =/= Opinion.

An opinion could be in turn revealed as a fact, but a fact could never be an opinion xD
Though I have to agree that a lot of the things posted in this thread can be classified as actual opinion rather than an opinion that could be a fact...



Anyway, both Wigglytuff's animation and Clefable's animation in D/P/Pt is almost identical, the only difference is that one of them only lifts one foot, while the other lifts both, when they jump.

Hypothetically, if there was a Pokémon of all 17 types and it isn't affected by moves like Foresight, it would be only weak to Rock type attacks.

Always thought that was interesting.

No non-electric type Pokemon can learn Thundershock or Charge.

Articuno and Moltres can learn peck in gen I while Zapdos cannot. In gen II, Zapdos can learn Peck, while Articuno and Moltres cannot.

In ruby/saphirre/emerald, in Lilycove Museum there are stautes and paintings of ancient unknown pokemon. One of them is some sort of bird. Another one looks like Lucario and the three pokemons on a painting on the wall sorta look like Mesprit, Azelf and Uxie

Nidoran(M), Nidorino, Nidoking, and Nidoran(F) can breed. However, the result will always be a Nidoran(M). ...So how do Nidoran(F)s exist?!
D:
Actually, for male/female counterpart Pokemon (Nidoran/Volbeat/Illumise/Plusle/Minun), the breeding result will be randomly decided.

Actually, they're the Lati@s.

This be a total random and funny fact. There's a new pokemon in the new movie called Zoroark :O

Fact:

Gastly is (likely) based on the Atom model of Rutherford: a big 'cloud' like surrounding a core.

Other fact:

Diglett, Zubat and Voltorb are pathetic excuses for pokemon.

Primeape in Diamond/Pearl, only the females had the larger noses, but in Platinum both genders have the large nose. (In comparison to a male Primeape in D/P.)

Wielding Übersaw.
Fact:

Gastly is (likely) based on the Atom model of Rutherford: a big 'cloud' like surrounding a core.

Have you ever seen the original design for Gastly? It used to look like a giant cloud of smoke. Not much like an atom. Now it looks like an angry ball with smoke around it. Not to mention it would have no reason to look like an atom in the first place.

Other fact:

Diglett, Zubat and Voltorb are pathetic excuses for pokemon.

Oh yes, because simplicity = patheticness.

Only two continents have ever been mentioned in Pokemon. South America and Antartica.

The episode 'The Right Place and the Right Mime' has the most lead characters in it, featuring Ash, May, Max, Tracey, Misty, Brock, Jessie, James and Meowth.

Kenny has had a new Pokemon on his team in all of his appearences.
 
A noticeable observation I've discovered. Generation 1 featured Kanto on the original Gameboy whereas generation 2 featured Johto right? Okay so I'm talking about generations and regions in this message, however something startled me. As of Generation V, we would have visit every region to have existed in the Pokemon world on the DS; this includes the possible RS remake since it's tenth anniversary is also coming up and thanks to the fifth generation sharing the same handheld, it is possible for Hoenn to appear on the DS. Cool huh? Five regions all on the same handheld!

In the Anime, there was an episode at Bill's' lighthouse featuring a giant Dragonite. In one of the next episodes, Dexter mentions that Raichu can knock a Dragonite uncncious with its' electricity, them not even knowing what a Dragonite is.
